Performance-Driven Lattices for Advanced Engineering
nTopology enables you to control lattice parameters at every point in space using Field-Driven Design.
Optimize your lattice structures to exceed your performance targets. Generate parts with advanced lattice structures driven by simulation results, test data, or engineering formulas.
Architected Materials for Next-Gen Product Development
Leverage geometric complexity at the mesoscale level to create architected materials with tailored mechanical properties.
Architected materials enable you to overcome the design constraints of limited 3D printing material selection.
Save Time with Design Automation
In nTopology, you design processes, not just parts. In other words, you don’t have to start designing from scratch every time you begin a new project.
With design automation and nTopCL — nTopology’s Command-Line Interface — you can set up massive simulation-based Design of Experiments or batch process whole product families without any manual work.

How to Accelerate FE Simulation of Lattices using Homogenization
Selecting a suitable lattice unit cell during design is not an easy process. Simulations are needed to predict their behavior before testing — both are expensive.
Homogenization can significantly accelerate the earlier design stages. Instead of simulating the whole lattice, you can approximate its effective material properties based on the behavior of a single lattice cell.
